TODAY’S TALKER

daily Maddow: People disappointed by The TWEET Trump story expected too much @NWHerald

By DAVID BAUDER

The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Rachel Maddow said that if people felt let down by her story about President Donald Trump’s 2005 tax document, it’s more because of the weight of expectation than anything she did.

The MSNBC host found herself in the odd position Wednesday of defending herself from criticism after one of the biggest scoops for her show. Maddow’s show revealed, through reporter David Cay Johnston, two pages of tax return information that showed Trump earned $150 million in 2005 and paid $38 million in income taxes that year. Trump has steadfastly refused to release his tax returns.

Maddow’s tweet less than 90 minutes before her show that “we’ve got Trump’s tax returns” set off a social media frenzy. Although a subsequent tweet specified it was only two pages from one year’s returns, expectations were sky high.

Maddow told the AP that she never misrepresented what she had.

“Because I have information about the president doesn’t mean that it’s necessarily a scandal,” she said. “It doesn’t mean that it’s damning information. If other people leapt to that conclusion without me indicating that it was, that hype is external to what we did.”

Her story was derided as “a big nothingburger” by Fox News Channel’s Steve Doocy on Wednesday. There were unflattering comparisons to Geraldo Rivera’s opening of Al Capone’s vault, TV shorthand for an anticipated event that doesn’t meet expectations. The White House’s pre-emptive step of issuing a statement with Trump’s income and estimated taxes for that year before Maddow’s show started also took air out of the story.

Maddow’s nearly 20-minute explanation of why seeing the president’s tax returns is important and all of the things they could reveal – before telling what the 2005 documents actually showed – might have felt familiar to her regular viewers but a long tease for those enticed by the advanced advertising.

“My priority is to get the story right and put it into proper context, and explain the weight of it and why it is important,” Maddow said. Although she didn’t reveal the income figures immediately, she did tell viewers at the top of the show the exact documents that were obtained and how they came to light, she said.

The fact that the material was leaked – and

WHERE IT’S AT

the Trump administration contended that it was illegal for Maddow to publicize it – is as important as what it revealed, Maddow said. If it happened once, it’s likely to happen again, she said.

“This is a super interesting first window into his finances, and the question of his finances is a legitimate scandal,” she said.

While Trump called NBC News “fake news” in a tweet Wednesday, he didn’t mention Maddow specifically. His son, Donald Trump Jr., did that in a tweet: “Thank you Rachel Maddow for proving to your Trump hating followers how successful #realDonaldTrump is and that he paid $40mm in taxes.”

White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Wednesday that he’d have to follow up with the president’s lawyer when asked whether any legal action is being contemplated against NBC. He denied that Trump himself was behind the leak to Maddow and said that it was offensive even to be asked the question. Maddow and Johnston speculated on Tuesday’s show about whether Trump had something to do with the document turning up in Johnston’s mail.

“It’s despicable and reprehensible, and they should be ashamed of themselves as to how they conducted themselves regarding this entire episode,” Spicer said.

Johnston noted in a tweet Wednesday that the White House had confirmed what Trump had called “fake news.” And he said that Trump fans had harassed his wife and one of his children by phone. “Sad!” he tweeted. “Let’s have open debate, not threats.”

Maddow said she didn’t feel that the White House had undercut her story by releasing the tax information early, noting that it was important to get confirmation that the story was right.

Some Trump supporters found the revelations a positive, given that critics of his failure to release taxes had suggested the president wasn’t as rich as he let on, or that he paid little in taxes. Maddow even faced some criticism within the family: a commentary by Jay Yarow on sister station CNBC’s website that was headlined, “Donald Trump just got a nice victory, thanks, of all people, to Rachel Maddow.”

“I don’t really care,” Maddow said. “It is funny to me that a president would spend this much energy and political capital to keep secret his finances and his taxes specifically, and simultaneously would want to brag about how much money he made. If that’s really what he wants the story to be, he can release all of his taxes and we can all glory in his immense wealth.”

CUDA VS. JETT

Candidates look to address downtown revitalization, property taxes

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Downtown revitalization and lowering property taxes are two of the main issues in the two-way race for McHenry mayor.

McHenry businessman Wayne Jett and former Mayor Steve Cuda are vying for the position in the April 4 consolidated election. The winner of the upcoming election will replace outgoing Mayor Susan Low, who has held the job since she first was elected in 2003.

Jett has lived in McHenry for more than 25 years and has owned Jett’s Heating & Air Inc. for 14 years. He also is the president of Sideline Marketing & Sports Memorabilia and has organized fundraisers through his businesses to give back to the community.

“In my first term, I plan to revitalize the downtown area, and believe I’ve already been doing so by investing in the McHenry indoor theater.

Without a downtown, it’s hard to get a community moving in the right direction,” Jett said.

Jett said he knows he’s not a traditional candidate because he’s not a career politician.

“I thought it was time for a fresh perspective in city government,” Jett said. “I’ve just had enough with old politics, and it’s time we got things done in McHenry.”

His opponent, Cuda, served as mayor from 1993 to 2001 before deciding not to run for another term.

“After those eight years, I decided to spend more time with my family and take a break,” Cuda said. “Now that my kids are all older, I’ve decided I’d like to get back into politics.”

A lifelong McHenry resident, Cuda attended St. Patrick Catholic Grade School and McHenry Community High School. He is an attorney at Hamer, Schuh & Cuda in Woodstock and has been with the firm since 1984.

“A couple local clients of mine in the area have decided to leave the McHenry area because their real estate taxes are just too high,” Cuda said. “So I run on a platform of reducing the city’s real estate taxes.”

Cuda also served for 10 years as a member of the McHenry Community

you’re getting into,” Cuda said.

Jett has been a McHenry resident since he was 6 years old and attended Riverwood Elementary School and McHenry High School – West Campus. He’s said he’s seen the city hit some hard times, and investing in the downtown area is a crucial part of his plan to bring more people to McHenry.

“It’s just time for young millennials to get involved and time for new visions,” Jett said. “When there’s vacancies throughout the city, it’s just time to make that change. I want this community to be a place where our children and grandchildren want to call home.”

To try to revive the downtown area, the city of McHenry recently approved the redevelopment of the indoor theater, which has been closed since 2014. Jett and Cuda both were in support of this proposal.

“By spurring economic development and investing in our infrastructure, we can bring prosperity to McHenry,” Jett said. “The resulting city revenues would allow us to sustainably lower your property taxes.”

“The challenge for the next mayor is to persuade current businesses to stay and new ones to locate in McHenry. By reducing the city’s share of the

Marengo High School students show support for fellow classmate Logan Vallee, who underwent a heart transplant this week.

Marengo teen has heart transplant

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

More online

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com MARENGO – Marengo teen Logan Vallee, 16, faces months of recuperation after undergoing a heart transplant this week, which came after two weeks of waiting at Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago.

Logan was born with a heart defect, and the family knew he eventually would need a transplant.

The family has lived in Marengo for nearly 20 years, and the community has rallied around the family in its time of need.

When Logan was admitted, the family didn’t know how long it would have to wait for a heart to become available.

Doctors gave an estimated wait time of six weeks to seven months, said Logan’s mother, Trish Vallee.

“We just [had] to hope and pray for the perfect match,” she said. “It’s kind of heart-wrenching, too, knowing that someone else’s loved one has to die for ours to survive.”

Logan was born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, a birth defect that affects blood flow. The teenager has had eight open-heart surgeries, 11 strokes and two seizures from epilepsy during the course of his life, his mother said.

Family members knew the surgery was going to be necessary down the road, but they were hoping it could wait until he was a little older.

Community support for Logan – who his mother described as caring,

“I am blessed with an amazing group of girlfriends, and they started making T-shirts that say #TeamLogan,” she said. “The website was up for two days and sold 300 shirts. … School support has been phenomenal. We are very blessed.”

Logan likely will be in the hospital for another two to three weeks before going to the Ronald McDonald House for follow-up care to make sure his body doesn’t reject the new heart, family friend Stacy Scow said.

against rejections.”

Scow said that Team Logan is working on organizing fundraising events for the Vallee family. At a recent Marengo High School basketball game, students wore red in support of their classmate.

“It makes me cry just thinking of it,” Scow said. “The support has been overwhelming.”

Fox River Grove Middle School students Jacob Felix (from left), Jared Bright, Daniel Brubacher and Mia Nollett participated in a design challenge at the University of Illinois last weekend. The team built a bridge and won first place in the “lifts the most weight overall” category.

Fox River Grove middle schoolers win bridge design contest at U of I

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com FOX RIVER GROVE – A 68-gram bridge made by four Fox River Grove Middle School students supported 136.5 pounds, earning the team first place in the “lifts the most weight overall” category at a design contest for middle school students.

The contest, hosted at the University of Illinois Engineering Open House, featured 31 teams who competed for awards in several categories, Fox River Grove Principal Eric Runck said.

Science teacher Jackie O’Mara made the trip Saturday with her students, including eighth-graders Daniel Brubacher and Jacob Felix and seventh-graders Jared Bright and Mia Nollett.

“Being new to this, we had no idea how it’d really work out,” O’Mara said,

adding that she was proud of how well the students did.

For two weeks before the competition, students spent their free time in study hall, their lunch period and outside of school to build the bridge, which could only be made out of balsa or basswood and glue, O’Mara said. Bridges also had to span 40 centimeters and weigh no more than 70 grams, she said.

O’Mara said she’s been with Fox River Grove School District 3 for 17 years, and during that time the school has never participated in the competition. When she saw an email about the competition, she asked a few students whether they wanted to go, and she found a few who were interested.

Jared said he wanted to be a part of the competition because he’s interested in the STEM field.

“It taught me a little bit about engineering because I saw other people’s

bridges, and I saw what worked and didn’t work,” Jared said.

The key to building a strong bridge was reinforcing the joints of the bridge with balsa so that the stress was on the wood rather than on the glue, Jared said.

Students each built their own prototypes of a side of the bridge to test before building the final one, Daniel said.

“It was amazing to me to see them work tougher as a team like they did and to really analyze things as they went,” O’Mara said. “They would see something that all of the sudden didn’t look like it was going to work out, and they problem-solved their way through it – that’s everything a teacher wants to see in their kids.”

O’Mara said the project for the competition changes yearly, and she’d be willing to attend again if students are interested.

“I think the experience I have is a defining characteristic. Until you’ve done it, you just don’t know what you’re getting into.”

“It’s just time for young millennials to get involved and time for new visions.

Continued from page A3 real estate tax burden, that challenge should become a little easier to meet and overcome,” Cuda said.

Cuda said his biggest concern for McHenry is losing residents and businesses because of high property taxes.

“I spoke with a longtime businessman from McHenry last evening, and he told me he was thinking of expanding his plant here, but his tax bill

would be $140,000 when the project was completed,” Cuda said.

Both Cuda and Jett also noted that transparency, listening to others and taking responsibility are important traits of being a leader.

“At the City Council, I would like to see more dialogue amongst the elected officials and staff,” Cuda said.

“I will also ensure that all spending and city operations are conducted as transparently as possible, ensuring we are fully accountable for you,” Jett said.

CHICAGO – People living in poverty are more likely to become victims of violent crime than higher income earners whether they live in cities, suburbs or rural areas, but the rural poor experience crime at higher rates, according to a Wednesday report by a Chicago research group.

The Heartland Alliance, a nonprofit organization, analyzed the overlap between poverty and crime at state and national levels for the first time in the nearly two decades it has studied poverty in Illinois. The group’s 44page report cites census data, federal statistics and studies featuring victim interviews.

Chicago’s alarming rise in murders has dominated headlines, with more than 750 homicides in 2016. However, when murder is taken out of the equation, the rural poor overall experience violent crime at a rate 192 percent higher than those with higher incomes in the same areas, according to the report.

“A lot of people envision violence as an urban problem, but there are a lot of types of violence,” Heartland’s research director Katie Buitrago said.

About one-third of Illinois’ 12.5 million people – about 3.8 million – are either low-income or living in poverty, according to the report, which defines low-income as a family of four living on about $48,000.

Bob was born to the late Robert and Margaret “Pearl” (O’Halloran) Bussey on December 7, 1931 in Somerville, MA. Bob joined the United States Marine Corps at a young age and proudly served his country during the Korean War. He attained the rank of staff sergeant and decided to leave the service of his country.

Bob obtained employment with Martin Marietta in Colorado where he worked on heat shield technology for spacecraft. It was in Colorado where Bob met the love of his life, Roseann Gottardi.

Bob and Roseann raised their five children in Crystal Lake, IL while he worked as an electronics engineer at T.R.W. in Wheeling. During his time with T.R.W., Bob developed new technology for televisions and was awarded several patents. Later in his career, Bob was a manufacturer’s representative and founded his own company, Opus America.

He is preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Betty Lehan.

He is survived by his wife, Roseann; his children, Anne Kresler (Thomas), Teresa Weston , Robert (Melany), Steven (Laura), and Timothy (Chrissy); his brother, Donald; and his grandchildren, Adam Kresler, Kara,

MAGDALENE MARIA DOWE

Born: September 13, 1939; in Germany Died: March 12, 2017; in McHenry, IL

Magdalene Maria Dowe (nee Besemer) passed away Sunday, March 12, 2017 surrounded by her loving family.

Magdalene was born September 13, 1939 in Germany.

Because of the kindness and generosity shown to her and her family by the American soldiers at the end of WWII, it became her lifelong dream to someday move to the United States. At the age of 20, speaking only German, Magdalene traveled to the U.S., fulfilling that dream. After proudly obtaining her U.S. citizenship, she claimed she was not a German living in America, but rather an American born in Germany.

Magdalene settled in McHenry where she eventually met her husband, Eugene. They married on February 24, 1962, and raised three devoted daughters. Once her youngest daughter entered kindergarten, Magdalene began working at School District 15 as a teacher’s aide. Throughout the years, she touched the lives of many children and families. She retired from the school after 38 years of dedicated service.

She will be remembered for her strength, laughter, generosity, selflessness, faith, fullness of life and most importantly, love of family.

Magdalene was preceded in death by her husband of more than 50 years, Eugene.

She is survived by her three daughters, Melissa (Anthony Jr.) Pintozzi, Giselle (Warren) Anderson, Renee Dowe; and her five adored grandchildren, Joseph (Erin) Pintozzi, Mary (Luke) Naidicz, Olivia Pintozzi, Annalise and Oliver Anderson. She is also survived by three sisters, Erika (Heinz) Gross, Gisela (Klaus) Mickert of Germany, and Linda (Roger) Beu of Woodstock.

Services will be held Saturday, March 18, at the Church of Holy Apostles in McHenry.

Visitation will take place from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. with a funeral mass immediately following. Interment will be private.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Church of Holy Apostles or a charity of one’s choice.

Colonial Funeral Home is assisting the family. For more information, visit colonialmchenry.com or call 815-385-0063.

of Yosemite, a post-WWII time from roughly 1955 to 1970, when a vagabond group of climbers lived in Yosemite and devoted their lives to climbing.

They claimed a number of first ascents that were once deemed impossible such as El Capitan and Half Dome.

He also was a major promoter of clean climbing techniques and equipment to avoid rock damage.

“I think that he set the rules for the game of climbing, and he believed in the rules of the game. The lives of those of us who climbed were enriched

by Royal’s insistence on getting the rules right,” said Daniel Duane, who has written three books about climbing, including one on Robbins. “If it hadn’t been for Royal, all those cliffs would be a total mess.”

10:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. Memorial Service at Wonder Lake Bible Church, 7511 Howe Road, Wonder Lake, IL 60097.

She held numerous jobs while raising her family including working at the Benedictine Convent of Perpetual Adoration in Mundelein, IL. There she assisted making hosts, and teaching the nuns to drive. She retired after 25 years from the Libertyville Fire Department where she worked as an administrative assistant to the chief and was a founding member of the Illinois Fire Service Administrative Professionals. She was the first woman to join the Libertyville Fire Dept. in 1970. She was a beloved friend, mentor, and mother figure to many of her co-workers. In 2002 she and Ernie moved to Sun City, AZ to enjoy the warm weather and each other.

Dolores returned to IL in 2015.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Ernest Reschke; and her son, Greg Reschke.

She is survived by her loving children, James (Gigi) Reschke, Mary Ann (Tom) Wiznerowicz, Susan (Thomas) Grazier, Robert (Tana) Reschke, Teri (Gary) Grossi; daughter in-law, Pam (Greg) Reschke; 17 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren.

The only thing better than having her as our mother was our children having her as their grandmother.

Our mother taught us everything except how to live without her. Forever in our hearts, and never forgotten.

Auto voter registration moves on to Senate

By KIANNAH SEPEDA–MILLER The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – A Senate committee approved a new automatic voter registration plan Wednesday, sending to the floor a proposal that advocates said is tighter than one Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner rejected last year.

Democratic Sen. Andy Manar’s plan would allow residents to automatically register to vote when they visit certain state agencies. The Senate committee endorsed Manar’s measure Wednesday with a 10-3 vote.

Rauner vetoed similar legislation last year, fearing it did not contain enough safeguards to prevent voter fraud. Rauner’s spokeswoman, Eleni Demertzis, wouldn’t say whether he supports the new plan.

The updated version requires residents to confirm their eligibility before information is passed along to election officials or confidentially opt out instead. Its predecessor would have filed applications regardless, leaving election officials to follow up.

Supporters said the proposal would cut costs and bolster turnout by modernizing the registration process.

U.S. citizens already have the option to register to vote when they apply for a driver’s license or state ID at Secretary of State’s offices. Manar’s plan

Panel approves overtime rule for home care workers

SPRINGFIELD – A legislative panel in Illinois has failed to block a new overtime rule for home care workers that is expected to be in place by late summer.

The Joint Committee on Administrative Rules deadlocked twice along party lines after Democrats’ tried to stop the Department of Human Services from implementing the rule, The State Journal Register reported.

The department now can enforce the rule that will cap workers in the home services program at 40 hours a week, with some exceptions. The personal assistants help people with disabilities live in their homes rather than in a nursing home or another facility.

“The goal here is to make it easier for taxpaying citizens to interact with their government,” Manar said.

He added that eliminating redun-

The department’s chief of staff, Fred Flather, said all of the agency’s clients will continue to receive the services they need.

He said 89 percent of the care providers work less than 45 hours a week.

Fairview Heights’ top cop named Illinois Chief of Year

SPRINGFIELD – The chief of police of Fairview Heights has been named Illinois Chief of the Year.

The Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police announced Tuesday that Chief Nicholas Gailius will receive the award at a ceremony next month.

Gailius has been chief in Fairview Heights since 2010. He started with the department as a police Explorer at age 14. He also has been a dispatcher, patrolman, detective and assistant chief.

the plan would help ensure young people get involved and cut down on confusion caused by people scrambling to register at the polls.

“Automatic voter registration will extend democracy to the communities that need it most,” Williams said.

Republican Rep. Mike Fortner of West Chicago contends voters can rest easy knowing the new system, set to take effect in July, would not hazard an influx of ineligible voters.

Participating agencies would use personal information filed in their system to verify whether a visitor qualifies to vote.

“This is a data set that is going to allow us to make a more secure check that people are qualified,” Fortner said. He is sponsoring similar legislation in the House.

The state’s leading election authority expressed doubts last session over whether they had the time and resources necessary to roll out the original plan.

But Illinois State Board of Elections attorney Ken Menzel told The Associated Press the latest version reduces that burden by having potential applicants opt-out upfront.

Automatic registration, he said, could help “smooth out” the spike in applications election authorities face ahead of major elections.

Gailius helped coordinate law enforcement response east of the Mississippi River during 2014 protests over a fatal shooting by police in Ferguson, Missouri.

In Fairview Heights he co-founded a youth mentoring program and created a program to improve communications between police and local neighborhoods.

Plane diverts after drink splashes electronic device

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A spilled beverage caused a Chicago-bound American Airlines flight to be diverted to Jacksonville, Florida. About 150 people were aboard Flight 1090 from Miami on Monday. The Florida Times-Union reported that firefighters were on standby as the plane landed at Jacksonville International Airport.

Airline spokesman Ross Feinstein said Wednesday the plane was diverted for maintenance after soda spilled on an electronic device in the main cabin. Feinstein said the device was part of the in-flight entertainment system that included a power port for a bulkhead seat.

Fed raises rate, sees more to the state, and he concluded that hikes as economy improves Hawaii was likely to succeed on WASHINGTON – The Federal Reserve has raised its benchmark interest rate for the second time in three months and forecast two additional hikes this year. The move reflects a consistently solid U.S. economy and will likely mean higher rates on some consumer and business loans.

The Fed’s key short-term rate is rising by a quarter-point to a still-low range of 0.75 percent to 1 percent. The central bank said in a statement that a strengthening job market and rising prices had moved it closer to its targets for employment and inflation.

The message the Fed sent Wednesday is that nearly eight years after the Great Recession ended, the economy no longer needs the support of ultra-low borrowing rates and is healthy enough to withstand steadily tighter credit.

Russian agents, hackers charged in Yahoo breach

By ERIC TUCKER

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Two Russian intelligence agents and a pair of hired hackers have been charged in a devastating criminal breach at Yahoo that affected at least a half billion user accounts, the Justice Department said Wednesday in bringing the first case of its kind against current Russian government officials.

In a scheme that prosecutors said blended intelligence gathering with old-fashioned financial greed, the four men targeted the email accounts of Russian and U.S. government officials, Russian journalists and employees of financial services and other private businesses, U.S. officials said.

Using in some cases a technique known as “spear-phishing” to dupe Yahoo users into thinking they were receiving legitimate emails, the hackers broke into at least 500 million accounts in search of personal information and financial data such as gift card and credit card numbers, prosecutors said.

“We will not allow individuals, groups, nation states or a combination of them to compromise the privacy of our citizens, the economic interests of our companies or the security of our country,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Mary McCord, the head of the Justice Department’s national security division.

The case, announced amid continued U.S. intelligence agency skepticism of their Russian counterparts, comes as U.S. authorities investigate Russian interference through hacking in the 2016 presidential election. Officials said those investigations are separate.

One of the Yahoo-related defendants, a Canadian and Kazakh national named Karim Baratov, has been taken into custody in Canada. Another, Alexsey Belan, is on the list of the FBI’s most wanted cyber criminals and has been in-

dicted multiple times in the U.S. It’s not clear whether he or the other two defendants, Dmitry Dokuchaev and Igor Sushchin, will ever step foot in an American courtroom since there’s no extradition treaty with Russia.

“I hope they will respect our criminal justice system,” McCord said.

The indictment identifies Dokuchaev and Sushchin as officers of the Russian Federal Security Service, or FSB. Belan and Baratov were paid hackers directed by the FSB to break into the accounts, prosecutors said.

Dokuchaev has been in custody in Russia since his arrest on treason charges in December, along with his superior and several others.

Russian media have reported that Dokuchaev and his superior were accused of passing sensitive information to the CIA. The media reports also have contended that Dokuchaev was arrested by the FSB several years ago and offered a choice: serve a long prison sentence on hacking charges or sign a contract to work for the agency.

The FSB hasn’t commented, and the Justice Department did not confirm that.

Yahoo didn’t disclose the breach until September, when it began notifying hundreds of millions of users that their email addresses, birth dates, answers to security questions and other personal information may have been stolen. Three months later, Yahoo revealed it had uncovered a separate hack in 2013 affecting about 1 billion accounts, including some that were also hit in 2014.

U.S. officials said it was especially galling that the scheme involved officers from a Russian counterespionage service that theoretically should be working collaboratively with its FBI counterparts.

“Rather than do that type of work, they actually turned against that type of work,” McCord said.

Trump’s taxes would have been slashed by his plans

By JOSH BOAK and JEFF HORWITZ The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Donald Trump campaigned for the presidency by pledging no tax cuts for the wealthy, but newly leaked pages from his 2005 taxes demonstrate how the wealthiest Americans – such as Trump – would benefit from some of his tax proposals.

Trump’s proposals to eliminate the alternative minimum tax, cut the capital gains tax rate and curb income tax rates would have shrunk his tax bill dramatically if they had been in place more than a decade ago. The AMT alone was responsible for about 86 percent of his federal tax bill.

The Trump administration has said it would make up for lost revenue by closing loopholes, but the specific deductions Trump’s plan would eliminate have not been laid out in detail.

“Any reductions we have in upper-income taxes would be offset by less deductions, so there would be no absolute tax cut for the upper class,” Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told CNBC in November.

Trump’s promise to not slash taxes for the rich already has been called into question by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center and other analysts. Ac-

The summary of Trump’s 2005 taxes does not provide a full picture of Trump’s finances, the deductions he claimed and the detail of his income earned. Still, the numbers in broad strokes illustrate why his tax plan would be a boon for the ultra-wealthy.

ital gains, according to the two pages obtained by journalist David Cay Johnston.

Most of his earnings came from business income, rental real estate, royalties and partnerships. Trump offset much of that income through a tax loophole in the 1990s that enabled him to deduct more than $900 million in past losses on his casinos as past business losses of his own.

Trump has maintained that the publication of the returns was illegal, although he seemed to take pride in the financial results shown in the returns during an interview for Fox News Channel’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight” that aired Wednesday.

“It’s certainly not an embarrassing return at all,” Trump said.

The first big win for Trump would have come from his proposed elimination of the alternative minimum tax, which was first enacted in 1969 to ensure that top earners could not use tax breaks and deductions to avoid paying any federal taxes.

Had the law not been in effect in 2005, Trump could have avoided almost all of the federal income tax he paid that year. Instead of paying $36.5 million, he would have paid just $5.5 million.

How many complex car problems have been solved at Douglas Automotive? Finding that exact number is probably more difficult than some of the countless issues that Douglas McAllister, owner of Douglas McAllister, has solved over the years. Rarely does a day go by where he and his experienced technicians aren’t greeted with another challenge.

For example, the previous owner of a 2000 Lincoln Cartier Town Car had grown extremely frustrated because the whole system (air, heat, blower) stopped working. He’d take it into the dealer but the problem persisted about three to six weeks after being serviced.

Over the summer, it went out again. The dealer put in another module and replaced a wire in front of the firewall.

Finally, the car seemed to be working just fine. Then, he sold it to a friend and it went out again. A week later, it worked again. The pattern of working one day, and not working the next left the former and current owners frustrated and left mechanics stumped.

Looking for another opinion, he turned to McAllister, explaining the history of the car, while adding that it has 222,000 miles and is in immaculate shape.

“This is a tough one. I am leaning more towards an open wire somewhere that has yet to be found,” he said. “The fact that it goes on and off fits more with an open wire than a failed module. It could be a wire or one of the connections, or it’s possible it could be a problem right at the fuse box. The other thing we have seen cause weird problems on these Lincolns is an alternator that puts out AC voltage. This can play havoc with the electrical system and is fairly easy to test and diagnose.”

McAllister advised him to look for an open wire somewhere in the electrical system.

GOP leaders recognize need for health care bill change, may delay vote

By ALAN FRAM and RICARDO ALONSO ZALDIVAR The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Their health care overhaul imperiled from all sides, the White House and top House Republicans acknowledged Wednesday they would make changes to the legislation in hopes of nailing down votes and pushing the party’s showpiece legislation through the chamber soon.

House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., declined to commit to bringing the measure to the House floor next week, a fresh indication of uncertainty. Republican leaders have repeatedly said that was their schedule, but opposition mushroomed after a congressional report concluded this week that the measure would strip 24 million people of coverage in a decade.

Ryan told reporters that GOP leaders now could make “some necessary improvements and refinements” to the legislation, reflecting an urgency to buttress support. The measure would strike down much of former President Barack Obama’s 2010 overhaul and reduce the federal role, including financing, for health care consumers and is opposed uniformly by Democrats.

“We’re going to arbitrate, we’re all going to get together, we’re going to get something done,” President Donald Trump promised a crowd at a rally in Nashville.

At an all-hands meeting Wednesday evening of House GOP lawmakers,

Vice President Mike Pence and party leaders urged their rank-and-file to unite behind the legislation. “ ‘It’s our job to get it out of here and get it to the Senate,’ ” Pence told the Republicans, according to Rep. Dennis Ross, R-Fla. That would let Trump pressure “Democrats in these red states to come on board,” Ross said, referring to Republican-leaning states where Democratic senators face re-election next year.

Health Secretary Tom Price was using phone calls to lobby Republican governors, some of whom – with homestate GOP members of Congress – oppose the bill’s phase out of Obama’s expansion of Medicaid to 11 million additional lower-income Americans.

Amid the maneuvering, a government report said more than 12 million people have signed up for coverage this year under the very statute that Trump and congressional Republicans want to repeal. That figure underscored the potential political effect of the GOP’s next move.

Pence met repeatedly with House Republicans, but rebels still abounded. Conservatives were unhappy the measure doesn’t erase enough of Obama’s law while at the other end of the party’s spectrum, moderates were upset the bill would strip millions of health coverage.

“Oh heck, yes,” said one conservative leader, Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, when asked whether the GOP legislation needed changes to win his support.

OUR VIEW

Read the report, Republicans “It’s just not believable,” Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price said Monday, after the Congressional Budget Office projected the GOP’s Obamacare repeal-and-replace bill would result in 24 million more Americans without coverage.

Here’s what is not believable: Price’s prediction that “our plan will cover more individuals at a lower cost and give them the choices that they want for the coverage,” a claim that expert after expert has deemed a fantasy.

Many Republicans are doing everything they can to discredit the nonpartisan CBO. But the office backed up its projections with solid and transparent economic analysis. Even as he criticized the report, Price admitted he had not read it. So what, other than wishful thinking, inspired his attacks? An expert score of his own? If he has one, his office would not share it with us when we asked Tuesday.

One major line of attack for Price and other Republicans is that Obamacare is so bad that almost anything else would be better.

“Right now, current law, we’ve got individuals who have health coverage but no health care,” Price said. But the GOP bill would make this problem worse, allowing insurers to hike out-of-pocket costs.

Meanwhile, the CBO discredited the argument that Obamacare is collapsing, concluding that the insurance market would be stable under current law.

The other major complaint is that the CBO scored only one of three stages of the GOP reform effort, not the whole picture. But a second stage – legislating further changes under normal parliamentary procedures in the Senate – would require 60 votes and is highly unlikely to happen. Another stage – Price promulgating rules changes from his perch at HHS – has yet to be fleshed out. If House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and the Trump administration want to hang the defense of their plan on yet-to-berevealed policy changes, they should reveal the full package before proceeding further. In the event, it is unlikely that further deregulation would improve the health care prospect for most Americans. In fact, Price’s rules changes would likely make it easier for insurers to sell plans that catered to young, healthy and wealthy people and left older, sicker and poorer folks struggling to obtain decent coverage they can afford.

There are some voices of reason within the GOP. “Let’s say the CBO is half-right; that should be cause for concern,’’said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. “So rather than attacking the CBO ... I would think the prudent thing for the party to do is to look at the CBO report and see if we can address some of the concerns raised.”

Here’s one other suggestion: Make the minor tweaks Obamacare needs and move on to solving genuine problems rather than creating new ones.

ANOTHER VIEW

WikiLeaks making world more dangerous Over the past decade, WikiLeaks has heedlessly published sensitive diplomatic cables, classified military files, secret trade documents and politically explosive emails.

Last week, it dumped thousands of new files it said are from the Central Intelligence Agency.

If authentic, as seems likely, it may prove the most destructive disclosure yet.

Most of the new material relates to tools used by the CIA to spy on terrorists or foreign adversaries by gaining access to smartphones, messaging applications and so on. The dump revealed little that was surprising to technologists, and nothing that was improper or abusive on the part of the agency.

The implications for national security, however, are alarming. Either the CIA has been infiltrated at a high level, or someone was extremely careless with secret material. Either way, the agency will have to expend substantial time and money investigating the leak, assessing the damage, and developing or buying new tools.

More worrisome is that the leak could severely harm the ability of American spies to do

their work. People who cooperated with the CIA overseas in planting or using these tools may now be in danger. Operations that relied on them are in jeopardy. Collaboration with the agency will become riskier. And the technical details the leak divulged will offer adversaries an illuminating glimpse into how the CIA and other U.S. spy agencies do business.

That creates problems throughout the U.S. government, from the State Department to the White House. When espionage can no longer be counted on to inform policymaking, diplomacy and negotiation becomes more difficult. Confusion and miscalculation become more likely.

Tensions escalate, and lives are put at risk.

A final problem is that the leak may destabilize an already polarized electorate. Kooks and cranks across the internet have seized on the revelations to assert that the CIA was meddling in the 2016 election, while pinning the blame on Russia.

Once upon a time, that kind of thing could safely be ignored.

These days – with conspiracy theories ascendant and the kooks unusually influential – it really

can’t be.

For all that, WikiLeaks has so far offered no plausible ideological or principled objection to what the CIA was doing. When Edward Snowden began leaking National Security Agency secrets in 2013, he claimed it was to expose mass surveillance of Americans. This latest trove shows just the opposite: highly targeted tools used to eavesdrop on individual foreign agents or terrorists. Exactly what spies are supposed to do, in other words.

So why would WikiLeaks want to publish highly classified material that harms U.S. intelligence agencies, aids terrorists, puts lives at risk and subverts American politics, all while exposing no evidence of wrongdoing? Perhaps more pertinently, what does the new White House think of all this?

“I love WikiLeaks!” Donald Trump exclaimed in October, just before he was elected president and just after the group released emails intended to harm his opponent. “It’s amazing how nothing is secret today when you talk about the internet.”

It is indeed amazing. And it is now the president’s problem.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Lack of board oversight for Valley Hi

To the Editor; With the County Board having created a Human Resources Committee and advanced important infrastructure projects at the last meeting, as well as the very positive development that a consensus on electronic voting seems to be forming, I want to make sure something important, but subtle, that happened at the meeting does not get missed.

After some debate, the board approved Jack Franks’ liaison appointments by large vote margins, including the removal and replacement of Chuck Wheeler as one of the board’s liaisons to the Valley Hi operating board.

Wheeler was a liaison during the cover-up of the scabies outbreak last summer and his reappointment would have been a travesty. You only need to read the Illinois Department of Public Health report about the outbreak – which Franks demanded after constituents alerted him that Valley Hi’s management was hiding the outbreak – to see how the facility’s leadership lied to residents and their families.

The report also makes plain that the County Board, namely its liaison Wheeler, was negligent in its oversight duties.

Wheeler seemed to be acknowledging this himself at the meeting. He raised no objection to the resolution making appointments and then voted in favor of his own removal. At least in

VIEWS Scott Reeder becoming what he ran against.

Remember he was the fellow who ran against “career politicians?”

And then last month he hired a failed one to be his deputy governor.

Leslie Munger may have been an OK comptroller, but the voters gave her the boot and the governor’s office shouldn’t serve as a soft-landing pad for Rauner’s failed political friends.

After all, Illinois voters chose him to govern – not to cut sweetheart deals.

These are the type of political shenanigans that have infested past administrations. The folks who elected

his last act serving McHenry County’s seniors, Wheeler got something right.

Cuda will turn McHenry around

To the Editor: Save the date.

On April 4, we can do ourselves and the city of McHenry a big favor.

A vote for Steve Cuda for mayor will help turn the city around.

The last time he was mayor, he worked to secure $150 million in commercial and retail development.

That development still is providing property taxes and sales taxes which help lower our own real estate taxes.

If you’re tired of looking at empty retail spaces and tattoo parlors, let’s give him a chance to do it again. We need his energy and proven leadership to guide the city.

you, Bruce, wanted something different.

Oh, I know you have Rasputin-like advisers who are whispering in your ear: “Be Mr. Nice Guy, stay above the fray. And, remember ‘help’ your friends.”

That’s worthless advice.

The recent budget address could be best summarized as: Um, I dunno.

It had as many question marks as digits.

The only thing that Rauner’s critics and his past supporters seemed to agree on was that it was billions of dollars out of whack.

That’s not leadership. It’s vacillation.

In a state where ambiguity has long been the password for the status quo, Rauner is proving himself to be more

of the same.

Illinois voters deserve to know where our governor stands.

Right, now, that’s a big question mark.

His administration isn’t beyond redemption, but it’s well on its way.

We are left scratching our heads and wondering what does our state’schief executive stand for?

It’s time to stand for something.

Because, Bruce, we just don’t know you well enough, to miss you when you are gone.

SPRINGFIELD – There is an old Marine Corps saying that goes something like this: Lead, follow or get the out of the way.

Gov. Bruce Rauner would do well to remember that adage.

Because this past month he has failed at all three.

His first two years in office have been marked not so much by accomplishment but by clarity of vision.

But in the last month he has even botched that.

The Bruce Rauner who voters chose in 2014 was a man who stood for lower taxes, for reduced government spending and for reforming Illinois’ sleazy political culture.

He was the guy who ran on the platform of “shaking up Springfield.”

Well, he’s well on his way toward

Small businesses put at risk for hacking

By JOYCE M. ROSENBERG The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Randell Heath isn’t sure how hackers got into his company’s website – all he knows is a supplier called, saying the site had become an online store selling Viagra and Cialis.

The problem might have been at the company that hosts the site. It might have been that Heath’s passwords weren’t strong enough. But the invasion taught Heath a lesson that computer experts say many small business owners still need: Keeping your company’s computers and online sites safe isn’t a one-time operation, but requires continual vigilance as new kinds of attacks emerge.

“I’m planning on attending a ‘Cybersecurity for Small Business’ briefing,” said Heath, president of Coldsweep, a Mountain Green, Utah-based company that uses dry ice to clean surfaces.

The chances of a small business being invaded, of having computers, smartphones, tablets and even bank accounts hacked because of poor cybersecurity, are rapidly growing. And some of the very things small businesses are encouraged to do to make themselves more visible, such as having blogs, also can make them more vulnerable.

Symantec, a maker of computer security software, analyzed threats and cyberattacks that its network encountered and found that 43 percent of all cyberattacks in 2015 targeted small businesses.

AP file photo

Randell Heath poses next to a laptop displaying his company’s website Feb. 28, in Sandy, Utah. Heath’s sandblasting company, near Salt Lake City, had its website hacked and turned into a store selling Viagra and Cialis.

Just from 2014 to 2015, Symantec saw a 36 percent increase in new malware, and a nearly 80 percent increase in new variations of the malware targeting Android users.

The company also counted one instance of malware in every 220 emails, a bigger risk than one in 244 in 2014.

And even after all the warnings, a primary culprit was attachments or links that employees click on, allowing hackers to damage or delete files, track a user’s actions or steal data such as passwords.

Invasions that render a computer’s

files unusable unless the user pays a ransom also have surged. Cybercriminals who use this method are aggressive – one variation of ransomware attacked an estimated 100,000 computers a day within weeks of its release last year, the FBI said.

The costs of an invasion can be steep. Heath estimates he lost $10,000 in business because the site was down.

He didn’t have to pay to have the website rebuilt, because his business was part of an incubator where tech help was available for free.

But re-creating a website could run

a business well into the thousands of dollars. Many owners believe they don’t have the resources – human or financial – to keep their companies safe, which takes keeping up with frequent security updates for software and equipment.

“The CEO is also the marketing person and also the [information technology] person. They simply don’t have the wherewithal to manage computing platforms day to day,” said Tom Desot, chief information officer at Digital Defense Inc., which helps companies protect against cyberattacks.

Desot estimates that a company with 30 to 50 employees might have to spend upward of $50,000 initially to give all its equipment the best possible protection, which includes sophisticated software and firewalls to keep intruders out, and then thousands each year to keep their security up to date.

Smaller companies would have a much lower expense, but many owners still shy away from a cost that can seem prohibitive.

But there’s a bigger problem: owners’ willful ignorance, said Diana Burley, a professor at George Washington University whose expertise includes cybersecurity.

“You don’t necessarily understand how vulnerable you are, because you think, why would someone target me?

I don’t have that much in assets, I’m not lucrative, why would I be a target?” she said. “We operate in an environment of complacency.”

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

THURSDAY, M A RC H 16 , 2017

LONDON – Angelina Jolie is set to teach a master’s course at the prestigious London School of Economics this fall as a visiting professor.

The London Evening Standard reports the 41-yearold actress and filmmaker gave a preview of her class Tuesday with a lecture at the school’s Centre for Women, Peace and Security. She told the newspaper before the lecture that she was “a little nervous,” but she hoped to do well because the talk was “very important” to her.

The Standard reports that Jolie will be lecturing in an unpaid post in September as part of a master’s program on women, peace and security.

Prince’s ex-wife opens up about death of couple’s baby

AP file photo

Cast members Laurence Fishburne (from left), Keanu Reeves, Jada Pinkett Smith and Hugo Weaving pose May 27, 2003, to promote their latest film, “Matrix Reloaded,” the second film from “The Matrix” franchise, in Tokyo.

‘Matrix’ reboot? Some say studio should choose another pill NEW YORK – A reboot of “The Matrix” is said to be in the works, but many fans would rather see Warner Bros. choose a different pill.

The Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday reported that Warner Bros. is developing a relaunch of the 1999 film, which spawned two far less beloved sequels.

Any new “Matrix” film is in such an early stage that it may – like countless other projects in development – never amount to anything. Warner Bros. declined to share any details on its plans on Wednesday.

But the report was enough to stoke a backlash on social media over any tampering with the Wachowskis’ trench-coated, slow-motion bullet-flying science-fiction creation. Reboots, you may have noticed, are a tad common for Hollywood these days. And while repaving old favorites often causes consternation among fans, the possibility of a new “Matrix” touched a nerve.

On one hand, the dystopian vision of “The Matrix,” about a rebellion against machine-controlled rule, would seem ideal for today. After all, many have recently suggested the world has tipped into a simulated reality of its own. The time may be ripe for the deep “rabbit-hole” diving Laurence Fishburne’s Morpheus advocated.

Also, initially wounded fan feelings have been known to soften under the right conditions. Get the right talent involved, secure the necessary blessings, talk about “mining” the story’s boundless “universe” and you could – come opening weekend – have a “Matrix” version of the “The Force Awakens” on your hands.

Prince’s ex-wife is opening up about the couple’s son, who was born with a rare genetic disorder in 1996 and died just six days later.

Mayte Garcia writes in a new memoir excerpted in People magazine that baby Amiir was born with Pfeiffer syndrome type 2, a disorder that causes skeletal abnormalities. She said the baby struggled to breathe and underwent multiple procedures before his death.

Garcia told People she doesn’t think Prince ever got over the baby’s death. She said, “I don’t know how anybody can get over it. I know I haven’t.”

Garcia and Prince married in 1996 and divorced in 2000.

Prince died last April from an accidental overdose.

Boston Marathon bombing play to make world premiere

BOSTON – A documentary play about the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing is about to make its world premiere in Boston.

“Finish Line” is being presented by the Boch Center at the Shubert Theatre starting Wednesday. The Boston Theater Company production will run through March 26.

The play is based on interviews with survivors, runners, first responders and others.

Actors use verbatim transcripts to tell each person’s story.

Twin bombings near the marathon’s finish line killed three people and injured more than 260.

“Finish Line” doesn’t re-create the attack or portray those responsible. Instead, it focuses on people who were affected by the violence and came out stronger.

A portion of every ticket sold will be donated to the Martin Richard Foundation, named for the 8-year-old boy who was the youngest victim killed in the bombing.

National Enquirer owner buys Us Weekly for $100M

NEW YORK – The publisher of Rolling Stone magazine is selling celebrity magazine Us Weekly for $100 million to the owner of the National Enquirer tabloid.

In a press release, American Media Inc., which also owns Star, OK! and Men’s Fitness, did not say how much it is paying for Us Weekly. Two people with knowledge of the situation said it was a $100 million deal. They would not speak on the record because the companies are private.

Wenner Media bought Us Weekly in 1985.

It has been rumored that the magazine was up for sale.

Fiber integral part of healthy diet Dear Doctor: Our family went out to dinner the other night, and when I urged our kids to order a salad instead of french fries because of the dietary fiber in salads, they challenged me to explain why. I was embarrassed that all I could come up with about the benefits of fiber was “because it’s good for you.” Can you help?

Dear Reader: Don’t feel bad! With your brief answer, you got right to the heart of the matter – dietary fiber is integral to a well-balanced diet and to a healthy life. It lowers your risk of heart disease, diabetes and certain cancers, prevents constipation, stabilizes blood sugar and can help you maintain a healthy weight.

But kids are often natural skeptics when it comes to any kind of rules, so we’re happy to help you out with the science of why dietary fiber matters.

Let’s start with what we’re referring to when we talk about fiber. Dietary fiber is the part of the fruit, vegetable or grain that your body cannot digest and absorb.

It falls into two basic categories. Fiber that can dissolve in water is known as soluble fiber. Fiber that cannot dissolve in water, and which passes through the body pretty much intact, is known as insoluble fiber.

Each type of fiber offers a specific health benefit. Soluble fiber dissolves in water to form a kind of gel matrix, which puts the brakes on the entire digestive process. The presence of soluble fiber slows the absorption of sugars, which stabilizes blood glucose levels. It binds cholesterol so that instead of being absorbed by the body, cholesterol is excreted. And because the stomach takes longer to empty when soluble fiber is present, you wind up feeling fuller for longer.

Insoluble fiber, meanwhile, has an equally important job. Not only do the tex-

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier ture and “chew” that insoluble fiber adds to food make a meal more interesting, it travels relatively unchanged through the digestive tract and gives much-needed bulk to stool. This results in easier and more regular elimination. Insoluble fiber also helps to control the pH of the colon, and helps to prevent microbes from producing cancerous substances.

How much fiber do you need? Current recommendations put the number at 25 grams a day for women younger than 50, and 38 grams a day for men younger than 50. For adults older than 50, the number is 21 grams a day for women, and 30 grams a day for men.

Although all kinds of fiber supplements are available, they lack vitamins, minerals and micronutrients, so it’s better to eat whole foods. Most fruits, vegetables, beans, legumes and grains contain both soluble and insoluble fiber, but in differing amounts. For the best results, eat from a wide range of foods.

If fiber has been missing from your diet, it’s wise to add it slowly. Make the change to a high-fiber diet too quickly and you run the risk of unpleasant side effects, such as gas.

And be sure to drink plenty of liquid to keep the fiber – and your digestive tract – moving smoothly.

have an issue with my father and don’t know where to turn.

Dad is in his early 80s and – aside from poor eyesight – he’s in good health. I’m concerned because he has developed an unusual habit. He likes to look through the dumpsters behind the grocery store.

Initially he told me it was to get old produce for compost in his garden. But I have learned that he eats some of the things he finds. I have tried telling him this is dangerous. He could cut himself digging through the trash or get food poisoning. He refuses to listen and insists that what he is doing is safe. (He is NOT forced to do this out of economic necessity. He has enough money to buy groceries.)

The situation has become critical because he is now planning to cook something he found in the dumpster for a family gathering. I told him not to do it. If he does prepare food from the trash, I told him he must let people know where it came from, so they can make an informed decision about whether to eat it. Abby, please help. – Grossed Out Dear Grossed Out: If you can’t convince your father to disclose to relatives that the food he’s serving may have come from a dumpster, YOU should alert them to that possibility.

Dear Abby: My 9-year-old daughter has several friends whom we love and who are good buddies for her. However, the rules in their homes are different from those at ours. One friend in particular, “Sarah,” eats a lot of junk food and watches more TV than we allow. When my daughter asks why she can’t have chips and ice cream after school, or why we watch movies only on weekends, I remind her that good food and exercise make her healthy, and with less TV she does better in school.

I’m not interested in critiquing Sarah or her family, who are lovely people we really like.

However, I do want to make the connection between unhealthy lifestyle choices and possible consequences because this is a subject we’ll keep revisiting as my daughter grows up.

I have been trying to say things like, “Everyone makes their own decisions. This is why we do it this way,” but at 9, my daughter sees things as pretty black or white. If our way is right, then their way must be wrong. I’m totally failing at subtlety. Is there a better approach that I could take to talking about this without invoking comparisons? – Lifestyle Choices in

Jacobs looks to reload

Golden Eagles lose top talent, but 3 state qualifiers will be back “I feel like some of the guys look up to me a little bit, and I feel like I could be a leader for the team this year.”

By SEAN HAMMOND

shammond@shawmedia.com

J

acobs boys tennis coach Jon Betts called graduated seniors Kailash Panchapakesan, Riley Rowan and Kendrick Chong “three of the best players that have ever come through Jacobs.”

So now the challenge is finding new names to replace key pieces on what was the best team in school history.

The Golden Eagles return three state qualifiers from a squad that finished 10th at state a year ago. Even with new faces stepping into the lineup, Jacobs figures to be one of the teams to beat in the Fox Valley Conference again this season after going 21-2 last year and 12-0 in conference.

“We can’t think about replacing them,” Betts said of last year’s seniors. “We just have to focus on what we have and make sure that we’re playing our game.”

Returning state qualifiers include Kerwin Chong, Matt Kastritis and Kyle Burton.

Chong teamed with his brother, Kendrick, last year, and the duo finished the season 40-5, winning their first two matches at the state meet.

With Kendrick graduated, the junior Kerwin will move to singles this season.

“This will be his first real move to playing singles in high school tennis,” Betts said. “It’s pretty clear he’s one of the most capable players in the conference. Great athlete, great competitor. It’s going to be a big shift not having his brother to play off of.”

Kastritis and Burton played as Jacobs’ No. 2 doubles pair behind the Chong brothers.

They are likely to team up again this season after winning No. 2 doubles at the Fox Valley Conference Tournament and going 1-2 at the state finals.

“I feel like some of the guys look up to me a little bit, and I feel like I could be a leader for the team this year,” the senior Kastritis said. “I feel like doubles is good for me because

Jacobs’ Matt Kastritis returns a shot during practice Monday in Algonquin. Kastritis and Kyle Burton return for the Golden Eagles after qualifying for state last season in doubles.

I work well with others.”

Kastritis said he felt Burton, a sophomore, is the better of

the two players, but that they work well together as a team.

Even with a few state qual-

ifiers returning, Betts looked toward crosstown rival Prairie Ridge to emerge as one of the

favorites to win the conference.

“They have incredible depth all the way through their varsity and JV rosters,” Betts said.

For the Wolves, a couple of juniors in Patrick Nasta and Daniel Lamar return as the top doubles pair. Prairie Ridge finished the 2016 season 19-2 and 11-1 in the FVC, with the lone loss coming to Jacobs. The Wolves, however, graduated 11 seniors.

“We are very young,” coach Jim Benson said. “We have a great group of kids that are all committed and want to work hard.”

Cary-Grove went 19-2 last year and 10-2 in FVC play, losing only to Jacobs and Prairie Ridge. The Trojans return seniors Kevin McDonald and Luke Weber, who teamed up to go 20-2 and win a conference title at No. 4 doubles. Senior Quinn Gliniecki also returns from the No. 1 doubles pair.

“We have our work cut out for us after losing six starters to graduation,” coach Amanda Schuetzle said. “[We’re] looking to continue where we left off last year.”

Johnsburg, Marengo, Woodstock and Woodstock North will compete in the first year of the Kishwaukee River Conference. Woodstock and Woodstock North previously played in the FVC. Johnsburg and Marengo competed as independents in past years.

Also of note, as with girls tennis in the fall, IHSA boys tennis will have two classes instead of one, as has been the tradition since the state tournament started in 1936.

This year, Chong will play singles.

4 COLLEGE WRESTLING: NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS

4 locals will compete in St. Louis

By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com A little more than a year ago, Prairie Ridge’s Travis Piotrowski and DundeeCrown’s Christian Brunner ended their respective high school wrestling careers with state championships, capping undefeated senior seasons for the two Fox Valley Conference standouts.

As they moved on to college, the two continued to tick off similar new milestones, earning starting spots and establishing themselves for different Big Ten programs, Brunner at Purdue and Piotrowski at Illinois in Champaign.

On Thursday, they will reach another new height, as the two true freshmen will be among four local wrestlers competing at the NCAA Championships at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis.

Brunner is the first Purdue true freshman to reach the tournament since 2010, while Piotrowski is the first Illini true freshman to qualify for the NCAAs since 2011.

“It’s always been a goal to make it to the NCAAs, but having that goal become a reality, it’s more of a confidence booster than anything,” Piotrowski said.

“It really shows me that I deserve to be here, that I deserve to be in the starting lineup and, most importantly, I deserve to be on that national podium in the top eight. I’m just really looking forward to wrestling.”

Brunner called reaching the NCAA tournament a “great feeling” but also “a small goal on the bigger goal.”

“It gets another check off the checklist, and next up is to stay winning the first day and then keep winning the second day and then third day be on the podium.”

The double-elimination NCAA tournament begins Thursday, with the first round starting at 11 a.m. and a second round, plus first consolation matches, at 6 p.m. The quarterfinals and semifinals are Friday with the finals Saturday night. The top eight finishers earn All-America honors.

Three of the four local qualifiers are first-timers.

Did that always feel realistic? Does it now?

“I’m not going to lie, at the beginning I was a little lost, and I was kind of figuring things out, didn’t really know how attainable it was right away,” Brunner said. “Then, later in the season, the last few weeks, beating the No. 7-ranked kid in the country, because he’s All-American ranking right there, I got confidence then. I’m right there with these guys.

I’ve got to just keep going.

“Now being down here, it’s a new ballgame. I’m just ready to go, let it fly.”

Brunner, the 2016 Northwest Herald Wrestler of the Year, placed seventh at the Big Ten Championships to qualify and is 23-15 on the season, with six wins in his past eight matches.

Piotrowski (125 pounds) had his own moments of doubt early in his freshman campaign.

“I didn’t even know I was going to be

put into the lineup until a couple of days before the first dual,” Piotrowski said.

“So hearing that I would be in the lineup was something that was very shocking to me, I guess you could say. I was excited, but I was also pretty shocked about it.”

Piotrowski is 18-13 on the season and has four wins over ranked opponents.

To qualify, Piotrowski took fourth at the Big Ten Championships despite a first-round loss.

“I went in the locker room,” Piotrowski said, “and our current two-time national champ, Isaiah Martinez, just told me, ‘It’s not over ’til you let it be.’ I just went out there after that and said I’m not going to lose, I’m going to leave it all out on the line.”

Another Illini wrestler making his first trip to nationals is Crystal Lake South graduate Eric Barone (149 pounds). A redshirt freshman, Barone, finished eighth at the Big Ten Championships but needed to wait for an atlarge bid into the NCAA bracket.

“I actually found out when my dad

called and told me,” Barone said. “He found out before I did, which was pretty cool.”

That selection, he said, was an honor, but now he feels as if he needs to prove he belongs.

Barone and Piotrowski both credited their more-experienced teammates – especially Martinez and 2016 All-American Zane Richards – with helping prepare them.

“I don’t know that it’s so much what they’ve been telling me, but like what they’ve been showing me,” Barone said.

“Kind of how I said it’s just like another tournament or another dual, they try not to make it bigger than it is I think.”

The final local wrestler competing in St. Louis is the most experienced, at the complete other end of the spectrum from the other three. Richmond-Burton graduate Jack Dechow is the No. 8 seed at 184 pounds. Dechow is making his fourth appearance in the NCAA tournament for Old Dominion and will be aiming for his second All-America honor after placing fourth in 2014. The redshirt senior is 28-3 and coming off a Mid-American Conference championship.

The entire tournament will be either televised (ESPNU for daytime sessions and ESPN in prime time) or streamed online.

moments, making fearless decisions, sinking game-clinching free throws. Point guard always is the most glorified position at this time of the college basketball year, and McIntosh wants the responsibility that comes with it.

“I can’t emphasize enough that this isn’t the end goal,” he said. “It was one of our goals to make the tournament, but we’re not just satisfied to be here.”

That was evident as the Wildcats practiced on the Vivint Smart Home Arena court, a nonstop blaze of running, cutting, passing, shooting.

Station to station, no breaks, no slowing down. Not every team goes so hard the day before its opening game. Some try to stay loose and relaxed. Others are a bit distracted despite their better intentions.

The Wildcats went at it like a team with serious intentions.

To win. To stick around. To show everyone they belong.

After Providence (20-13) led by 15 points at halftime and went up by 17 to start the second half, Southern Cal (25-9) mounted a furious rally. The Trojans closed it to five points at the 10-minute mark, and went up 61-60 on a jumper by Chimezie Metu off a turnover with 6:46 left.

SALT LAKE CITY – “Act like you’ve been there before.”

Vince Lombardi famously spoke those words to his Green Bay Packers, and Paul “Bear” Bryant to his Alabama Crimson Tide. Which legendary coach got it from the other remains something of a mystery, not that it matters. Maybe it was just a coincidental case of great minds thinking alike.

Former Northwestern football coach Gary Barnett invoked the timeless maxim in a speech to his players before the 1995 season opener at Notre Dame.

The Wildcats shocked the Irish that afternoon, remained calm and businesslike when it was over and went on to their only Rose Bowl appearance in the past 68 seasons.

It really is a great message: Act like you’ve been there, even if you haven’t. Act like you belong, because you do.

Northwestern’s basketball team, as everyone well knows by now, never has been here be-

it was for Wildcats coach Chris Collins’ last team as a player at Duke. The Blue Devils team he captained as a senior was bounced from the first round by Eastern Michigan in 1996.

Thus, Collins sat at an NCAA tournament news conference for the first time in 20 years Wednesday. It felt good.

It took him back to his days as a college star and even further than that, to when he was just a boy out on the driveway living in his imagination.

“Every year whenever the tournament came, I would write up the brackets, and I would go outside by myself and play the whole game,” he said. “I would announce all the teams. I knew every player. Every game came down to a buzzer shot. I would play the whole tournament for hours.

“My dream in life was to be a part of this. I always wanted to be on ‘One Shining Moment.’ ” Junior point guard Bryant McIntosh had NCAA tourney dreams of his own. In his mind’s eye, he was the player with the ball in his hands in the critical

8 GRIZZLIES 98, BULLS 91

Wade injures elbow in latest loss

By JOE COWLEY

GRIZZLIES 98, BULLS 91

jcowley@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Job security shouldn’t be a concern for Fred Hoiberg these days.

After all, the second-year coach has already received a vote of confidence from his front office, and with three years, $15 million still left on his current contract after this year, there would seem to be more pressing priorities atop Hoiberg’s list.

However, that doesn’t mean that Hoiberg’s world is pressure free by any means.

“Obviously, there’s a ton of pressure in this league, but my only focus is on [the next] game,’’ Hoiberg said, when asked whether he felt his job could be in jeopardy if the Bulls missed the playoffs for a second consecutive season. “The only way you can [compartmentalize] is to continue to work, continue to grind, and again, that’s our focus.

“It’s on the next game, it’s on the next day, and how we can make our team better.’’

That “next game’’ was all Hoiberg had to look forward to after a 98-91 loss to Memphis on Wednesday night.

With Dwyane Wade (right elbow sprain) forced to leave the game in the fourth quarter, and Jimmy Butler having a rough 4-for-16 shooting night, the

ceived it to be. Just try and see what the

Bulls (32-36) have now lost six of their past seven games and continued to slide out of the Eastern Conference playoff race.

It was the Wade injury that was the latest red flag for those playoff hopes, with the veteran scheduled to get an MRI on Thursday, but not sounding real optimistic on a quick return.

“This is a first,’’ Wade said of the injury. “Hopefully, it’s not as bad as I per-

don’t know. I know Jimmy had something similar to this before – that’s what they told me – so I talked to him, and I don’t like what he has to say about this.

So that’s my concern level, that we’re trying to make the playoffs and there’s only 14 games left, and I don’t know how long this is going to take to get better.’’

The subplot in all Bulls games lately, however, remained the rotation questions.

Last week in a loss to Houston, it was

The Bulls’ Jimmy Butler (left) talks with doctors say and start my rehab process.

“My concern level is there’s only 14 Denzel Valentine during the first half against the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednes- games left, and I’ve never had this injury, so I can’t say two days, two weeks. I day at the United Center.

an organization still focused on trying to walk an almost impossible line of developing youth while trying to make a playoff push. Hoiberg’s rotation went 12 deep in that loss.

In the win over Charlotte on Monday, Hoiberg not only changed the starting lineup by going back to veteran Rajon Rondo for the first time since late December but started to tighten the rotation, sitting the likes of young players Paul Zipser, Jerian Grant and Michael Carter-Williams.

That formula seems to have some staying power now, as Hoiberg again kept it fairly tight against Memphis.

The only reason it went 10-deep was because Zipser had to put in six minutes of work when Nikola Mirotic got into some first-half foul trouble.

Hoiberg’s hope is that his more experienced players can keep this playoff hope afloat, and his players were all in on that philosophy.

“It definitely helps with chemistry,’’ Rondo said.

The problem was that Memphis has some chemistry of its own working, as Mike Conley and Marc Gasol each scored 27 points.

Gasol provided the dagger, hitting a huge 3-pointer with 1:12 left in the game, turning a four-point deficit into seven.

“They were the aggressor,’’ Wade said. “They were Memphis.’’

BLACKHAWKS

Schmaltz ready to fill in for injured Anisimov

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com OTTAWA – Nick Schmaltz isn’t Artem Anisimov.

Schmaltz is more of a playmaker, a speedy and skilled guy with a knack for making jaw-dropping passes. Anisimov is more of a power forward, a big body who makes his living just outside of the crease, screening goalies and banging home rebounds.

But when Schmaltz steps in between Artemi Panarin and Patrick Kane, he seems to get the same results as Anisimov – a lot of chances and a lot of goals.

“It’s two great players, and they make my job easy,” Schmaltz said. “I just try to find that open ice, and I know I’m going to get the puck from those guys, because they have such good playmaking abilities. It’s pretty easy when you’re playing with two guys that kind of think the same game, and always

know where each other are on the ice.”

Schmaltz has proved a worthy Plan B for the Hawks as a second-line center, and it’ll be his job for the foreseeable future. Anisimov will miss three to four weeks – just about the rest of the regular season – with the left leg injury he suffered Tuesday night in Montreal. Coach Joel Quenneville had said it was Nick “not serious” after Schmaltz the game, but Anisimov took a flight home to Chicago on Wednesday while the team rode a bus to Ottawa.

Quenneville said Anisimov, who set a career high with his 45th point Tuesday night before getting injured, “hopefully” will be back before the playoffs.

So Schmaltz will move from Jonathan Toews’ left wing to Kane’s center. And

the Hawks are quite comfortable with him there, after catching a glimpse earlier in the month when Anisimov was injured against Pittsburgh.

“Both times when [Anisimov] went out, I thought he did an excellent job in that role,” Quenneville said of Schmaltz. “He looks like he’s comfortable there. Not that he was uncomfortable playing Artem with Jonny. He took Anisimov advantage of a great opportunity there, as well. That versatility enhances his role going forward.”

Kane said his game doesn’t change much with Schmaltz instead of Anisimov, but that the line could adapt to take advantage of Schmaltz’s speed and playmaking ability. Johnny Oduya’s goal came off a broken 2-on-1 that Schmaltz directed, and Panarin’s goal was set up

by a beautiful feed from the half wall by Schmaltz.

“If we get him moving his feet in the middle, skating up the ice with speed, he can back off a lot of [defensemen],” Kane said. “Or if they don’t back off, we’ve got a chance to get some odd-man rushes.

He brings that speed element to the line, and you saw [Tuesday] we had maybe three or four 2-on-1s, and he made a couple of great plays, as well, on a couple of goals. It’s good to see him skate like that in the middle. That’s probably what we’ll try to stress the most.”

Note: With Schmaltz on the second line, rookie John Hayden likely will make his NHL debut on Toews’ line.

The Yale product signed last week and has a limited window to prove himself worthy of a spot in the postseason lineup. “To be honest, playing with anyone would be a great opportunity,” Hayden said. “The whole locker room is filled with household names. It’s exciting.”

“Given that many of his peripheral numbers remained the same or similar, including his swing and contact rates, it’s difficult to call this a new norm for Heyward,” a FanGraphs analysis states.

“It’s more likely the result of a mechanical flaw that he’s spent the winter correcting, and we should see harder contact and, subsequently, a more frequent on-base presence from Jason Heyward.

For now, though, he’s not nearly the surefire pick that he’s been in years past, but he could very easily return to prominence in 2017.”

WHITE SOX SPRING TRAINING

Moncada puts power in quiet spring with pair of homers

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

GLENDALE, Ariz. – White Sox top prospect Yoan Moncada hit consecutive home runs in his last two at-bats Wednesday, including one against hard-throwing Royals right-hander Kelvin Herrera. Moncada’s first homer came against starter Jason Hammel, who had shut out the Sox until then.

It served as a needed shot in the arm for the 21-year-old switch-hitter acquired in the trade for Chris Sale.

Moncada came into the game batting

.200 with 13 strikeouts in 13 games and no homers. Before going deep, Moncada, playing second base, made his team-high fifth error of the spring on Raul Yoan Mondesi’s ground ball Moncada in the fifth inning.

“I’ve been putting a lot of effort in my defense because that’s an area I know I can improve,’’ Moncada said through team translator Billy Russo. “But I’m also putting a lot of effort into my offense because you can’t just worry about one aspect of

the game.”

While Moncada hadn’t done much offensively, he has shown flashes of his speed with a triple and an easy, smooth swing. The Sox like his patient approach at the plate.

“This is a process and you know

that you have to keep on working in this process,’’ Moncada said. “You’re going to have ups and downs. I’m very happy with the process. The results are going to be there when I need it.”

“He’s chipping away at the approaches, trying to see enough pitches and get himself into a rhythm,’’ manager Rick Renteria said Tuesday.

“He’s had really good moments in the games he’s played.

“We like where it’s going, he’s improving and he’s a young man just scratching at the surface of what he can potentially can be. Time and experience will ultimately what he is.”

The Cubs didn’t sign Jason Heyward solely because of his Gold Glove pedigree in right field.

Nor did they sign him for his oratorical skills.

These two things certainly helped the Cubs last year, but the team gave Heyward an eight-year, $184 million contract so he could produce with his bat.

That didn’t happen last season, as Heyward slumped to a batting line of .230/.306/.325 for an OPS of .631 and an OPS-plus of only 70. He hit 7 homers and drove in 49.

That led to a winter of tearing things down and building them back up as Heyward worked with hitting coach John Mallee and assistant Eric Hinske.

Heyward’s swing appears to be more fluid, but the early results from the Cactus League show it’s a work in progress.

Through Tuesday’s action in Arizona, Heyward was 4 for 29 (.138) with a homer and 6 RBIs. Heyward has dealt with all the media inquiries with his usual grace. Whether he’s going well or going poorly, he’ll often wait for reporters so they can ask him questions.

“You don’t have to admit anything,” he said. “It is what it is. It’s right there.

Baseball is a game that’s going to humble you every day. You’re going to fail more times than you’re going to succeed.

“It’s all about how you handle that as an individual and as a group. We handled that the best out of anyone last year as a team, and that’s why we were able to win the World Series. I feel that’s the name of the game. Whoever wins the

Rossa moves on from Lake Michigan post I opened my emails to find a disturbing missive from Jerry Pabst, a legendary Lake Michigan charter captain, that read: “Bob Rossa sold his charter boat last fall, and retired from Lake Michigan. He bought a smaller boat and will run some walleye trips in the spring on Lake Erie. Not sure which marina he will work out of.”

I was astounded. I had heard nothing of the sort. Rossa is my go-to guy for quality info on the big pond and submitted a weekly fishing report for this column for a number of years. I quickly dialed his number.

Well, the entire story is that Rossa has indeed sold his pride and joy, the Migrator, and his Lake Michigan charter business. Rossa sold it to Capt. Caleb Weiner, who has been working for Rossa for a number of years. Weiner started as Rossa’s first mate, gained his license and has been running trips for Rossa for the past year.

Rossa will be working with Weiner off and on throughout the season, particularly with repeat clients who have a relationship with him. Rossa will be running a 25-foot Grady White on Lake Erie during April and the first half of May if anyone is interested in huge walleyes. After that, we’ll be seeing a lot of Rossa at Winthrop Harbor’s North Point Marina.

We can all look forward to Weiner and Rossa doing the Lake Michigan reports as soon as they do their first charter April 9.

Prairie Grove’s Bob Saley wrote regarding my recent column on spinnerbait fishing, “Hi Steve, saw your article today. Thanks. Try a Colorado blade in the spring. It naturally retrieves slower due to blade shape. I love white. It’s always a go-to color.”

Thank you, Bob. You are 100 percent correct. The Colorado blades are the ones that are smaller and more

U.S. women’s hockey players threaten boycott over wages

The U.S. women’s hockey team threatened to boycott the upcoming world championship tournament on home ice Wednesday unless there is significant progress in settling a wage dispute with USA Hockey they say has dragged on for months.

Players said they informed USA Hockey that they would not report to training camp next week without clear steps toward what they hope is a four-year contract. The U.S. is the defending champion after winning the gold medal last year.

Another thing I forgot to mention was that spinnerbait hooks can be tipped with a white grub to make them even more effective. This is not a requirement in the spring but works well as the season progresses.

I’ve been sent a number of emails from folks asking and complaining about a certain Illinois Senate Bill 9 that calls for a 5 percent tax on club memberships, “whether open to the public or for members only, including, but not limited to, athletic clubs, country clubs, golf clubs, gun clubs, fishing clubs, flying clubs, hunting clubs, swimming clubs, tennis clubs and yachting clubs.”

I don’t think I have to give my opinion as to how totally stupid I think this concept is. It’s merely another case of government gone wild. Sure, go ahead, just put a tax on everything, why don’t you?

Lastly, this is the time of year that I usually recommend that anglers buy their new fishing licenses, which take effect April 1.

Annually, when I remind the fishermen of Illinois to buy their licenses, I always politely ask them to check in the box that allows them to give a donation of $5 to the Illinois Conservation Foundation.

This year, I had to think twice about doing this. Eric Schmidt, the last ICF director, was let go Sept. 1 with no formal announcement. Since then, there has been no replacement put in place.

12 WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC: USA 4, VENEZUELA 2

U.S. rallies against Cubs’ Rondon

By BERNIE WILSON

peared to tweak something in his right leg while fielding Jones’ swinging bunt and throwing him out for the second out. After being checked by a trainer and throwing two warm-up pitches, Hernandez stayed in the game. Yelich then hit a comebacker that knocked off Hernandez’s glove. With a befuddled look on his face, the pitcher picked up the ball and threw out Yelich to end the inning.

The Americans threatened only once against Hernandez and failed to come through. He allowed three straight singles to Lucroy, Alex Bregman and Ian Kinsler with one out in the third before Jones grounded into a double play.

Rougned Odor homered with two outs in the seventh for a 2-0 lead for Venezuela, which beat Italy, 4-3, in a tiebreaker game in Guadalajara, Mexico, on Monday night to advance out of Pool D. Odor homered to right off David Robertson. Knowing it was gone, the Texas Rangers second baseman clapped his hands as he broke out of the box. On Monday night, he hit a high drive to left-center and stood and watched as it bounced off the top of the wall and back into play for a go-ahead RBI single in the ninth inning.

Ender Inciarte had a sacrifice fly in the third for Venezuela.

The Associated Press

SAN DIEGO – Hometown favorite Adam Jones hit a tying home run leading off the eighth inning, and Eric Hosmer added a two-run shot three batters later as the United States rallied to beat Venezuela, 4-2, Wednesday night in the second round of the World Baseball Classic.

After being shut down for the first five innings by Seattle Mariners ace Felix Hernandez, the Americans broke through against Venezuela’s bullpen.

Hosmer, the MVP of the 2016 All-Star Game at Petco Park, singled leading off the seventh and scored on Jonathan Lucroy’s sacrifice fly.

Hector Rondon (0-1) of the Cubs started the eighth for Venezuela, and Jones, who played at Morse High about 8 miles east of Petco Park, homered to right-center to tie it at 2. Christian Yelich singled and Nolan Arenado flied out before Hosmer muscled a shot an estimated 418 feet to right-center off Rondon for the lead.

Hosmer hit a solo homer and an RBI single in the American League’s 4-2 win at the 2016 All-Star Game in San Diego.

Hernandez scattered three singles, struck out three and walked none.

The postseason honors continue to roll in for Augustana sophomore Chrishawn Orange, although the best honor of all is that the Vikings (23-8) meet Williams in one of the NCAA Division III Men’s Basketball Tournament semifinals Friday.

Orange, it was announced Wednesday, was selected to the National Basketball Coaches Association All-Central District second team. He leads the Vikings in scoring (13.9 a game) for the season and hit game-winning shots in both of their first two NCAA tournament games.

Gavin Homer was 2 for 3 with three stolen bases and three runs scored.

In the second game, Matt Nagel (McHenry) was 3 for 4 with two RBIs and Sam Hawley hit a solo homer. Levon Smith (2-0) picked up the victory with three strikeouts and two hits over five innings.

Pet of the Week CHINA 1 YEAR 1 MONTH OLD FEMALE HOUND MIX This very pretty tricolored hound mix came to us from a kill shelter in Kentucky. She is black, brown and white on her face, neck, chest and toes. She has long triangular ears and soft brown eyes. She is medium size and weighs 32 pounds.

She was a young and very ill pregnant dog and only 2 of her puppies survived. Can you imagine having such a rough start before you are even a year old. This very sweet and now healthy girl is a hound and so she keeps her nose to the ground when outside. Our staff says she loves to play in the yard but she’d rather get love and attention. She wants to sit next to you, give kisses and get belly rubs. We think she is good with cats and children. She seems to like other dogs, will play bow and wants to play. She could be a great family dog or companion for an individual. Come give China a belly rub at Helping Paws located at 2500 Harding Lane, Woodstock, Illinois. 815-338-4400 - www.helpingpaws.net China is ready to leave her past behind and get a fresh start.

Could that be with you?

Union program marks century of national parks

Norm Moline stands in Sequoia National Forest in California.

THE NORTHWEST HERALD

“There is nothing so American as our national parks. ... The fundamental idea behind the parks...is that the country belongs to the people, that it is in process of making for the enrichment of the lives of all of us.”

– President Franklin D. Roosevelt

UNION – What began in 1916 with 35 national parks and monuments, under the watchful eyes of President Woodrow Wilson, has grown into nearly 400 parks scattered across all 50 states and its territories.

The National Park Service now oversees more than 84 million historically poignant acres – ranging from the Pullman National Monument in Chicago to Trail of Tears National Historic Trail that winds its way near downstate Cairo.

Join retired Augustana College geography professor Norman Moline at 7 p.m. March 20 as he marks the National Park Service’s 100th anniversary and delves into the impact it’s had on countless generations.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

Norman Moline at the McHenry County Historical Society Museum, 6422 Main St. in Union.

“Historic preservation and the historic geography of the U.S. has been a family interest of mine,” said Moline, 74, of Rock Island. The Chicago native regularly went on family vacations to the parks. His father, a Lutheran pastor, lacked the money for exotic trips. But “driving vacations” to parks proved an affordable and educational alternative the young Moline embraced – and continued with his own family.

“I have an appreciation for the whole system and everything it does,” Moline said. “I will give a brief history of the development of parks and the park service, discuss how it came to be and talk about the role of park service in helping state parks get going. I’ll also talk about some of the programs right around you – such as the National Register of Historic Places and the Fox River Water Trail Initiative.”

Moline, who went on to earn a master’s and doctorate from the University of Chicago, taught geography for 45 years at Augustana College before retiring in 2013.

A member of the Rock Island Planning Commission, Moline co-founded the environmental studies program at the school

“THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE AT AGE 100” WHEN: 7 p.m. March 20 WHERE: McHenry County Historical Society Museum, 6422 Main St., Union COST & INFO: Norman Moline, acomplished cultural geographer from Rock Island, will offer highlights of National Park Service History.

Tickets: $10 donation. Tickets and information: 815-923-2267 or www.gothistory.org. long before the interdisciplinary field became established on college campuses. He also launched the Asian studies program at Augustana and the first study abroad U.S. college program with China in 1974.

He has traveled to East Asia more than 40 times. He has a fair understanding of the world at large and America’s place in it.

That is not generally the case in this country – especially among young people, he said “Geography is taught in junior high, but at most high schools? Nothing,” Moline said. “There also is no sense of cultural geography. We isolate ourselves.”

According to the National Parks Conservation Association, a record 331 million people visited national parks in 2016. That has a huge economic impact on the economy – an estimated $16.9 billion in 2015 supporting close to 300,000 jobs. And it has this, Moline said, despite a backlog of nearly $12 million in maintenance projects, shifting Bureau of Land Management rules

Sampler Series programs

The Sampler Series at the McHenry County Historical Society Museum, 6422 Main St., Union, continues with the following programs: • 7 p.m. April 3 – “Rockford’s Camp Grant and World War I.” Terry Dyer, a recognized scholar and lecturer on Camp Grant, will discuss the 1917 origins of this massive National Army Training Center, named for Ulysses S. Grant, that operated until 1946.

• 3 p.m. May 15 – “General Pershing and World War I.” Local historian and re-enactor Ed O’Brien will assume the guise of Gen. John L. “Black Jack” Pershing, commander of American Expeditionary Forces in France during World War I and responsible for more than 2 million men. Pershing is the only American to be promoted in his own lifetime to General of the Armies, the highest possible rank in the Army.

Series tickets are $35, $30 for society members. A $10 donation is requested for individual programs.

For information or to buy tickets, call 815-923-2267 or visit www.gothistory.org.

Tickets also will be available at the door. along park borders and the further threat of fiscal belt-tightening.

“My hunch is that is one area where we won’t see cuts,” Moline said. “The national parks is one area where Republicans and Democrats, alike, agree.”

MCC impresses with ‘Normal Heart’ drama REVIEWS Regina M. Belt-Daniels

When I first learned MCC’s director of theater, Jay Geller, would be presenting “The Normal Heart,” I admittedly wondered if, even with his astute directing skills, Geller could pull off playwright Larry Kramer’s largely autobiographical and turbulent drama. So let me assure you from the onset Geller does and so does his impressive cast. As I sat in the intimate Black Box Theater’s audience, I realized this impassioned docudrama of recent history that affected us all still is very relevant today, perhaps even moreso in our current political times.

“The Normal Heart” had a very successful Off Broadway run at the Public Theater in 1985 and won three Tony Awards for its revival in 2011, before being made into an HBO film in 2014. It’s been a staple on college campuses and professional theaters around the world.

The play focuses on the rise of the HIVAIDS crisis in New York City between 1981-1984 as seen through the eyes of writer and gay activist Ned Weeks (stunningly and stridently portrayed here by Jake Seelye). Ned, who very much like the playwright Kramer, prefers loud public confrontations and incendiary actions.

He founds an organization based on raising awareness of an unidentified disease killing off a very specific group – gay men.

Dr. Emma Brookner (portrayed precisely and articulately by the only female in

the cast, Monica Hauschild) is the most experienced medically with the strange new epidemic and encourages Ned to fight (“having a big mouth is a cure”) and to get the word out about abstinence (“The bath houses are the equivalent to junk food – you can lay off them for awhile.”)

Dr. Brookner, aka “the holy terror in the wheelchair,” is a critic of the medical profession’s conservatism and head-in-thesand avoidance of anything political. For 14 months, Ned tries to get Mayor Ed Koch to listen; Koch won’t jeopardize the billiondollar NYC tourism industry or acknowledge his homosexuality. While petitioning the New York Times (“Seven deaths from Tylenol gets 54 articles and the front page, while, after 17 months and 1000 deaths, we get seven puny articles buried inside”), Ned meets the Times’ Society and Style editor, Felix, (an extremely convincing and touching Robert Morvay) and begins a relationship. Along the way, Ned tries to rebuild ties with his older brother, the successfully rich lawyer and passive homophobe, Ben (Gary Mackowiak, who very much looks and acts the part).

Strong, important scene work is done by ensemble members Alan Williams (Mickey), Anthony Rodriguez (Tommy) and Jacob Villec (Bruce). They are the lieutenants in Ned’s organization that he once had hoped would be full of “Ralph Naders and Green Berets.” Williams, Rodriguez and Villec each have their spotlight heartbreaking moments before betraying Ned. Sean Plotts (Hiram Keebler/David) and Josh Archambeau (Craig/Grady) also impact the powerful vignettes they appear in. Geller cast well.

Thomas Kesling’s set design is simple,

“THE NORMAL HEART” WHEN: March 9-25 WHERE: McHenry County College Black Box Theatre, 8900 Route 14, Crystal Lake COST & INFO: Tony Award-winning play

by Larry Kramer about public and private indifference to the AIDS plague and one man’s lonely fight to awaken the world to the crisis. Presented by McHenry County College as part of its 50th anniversary season.

Directed by Jay Geller. This play contains adult language and subject matter. Two acts, 10-minute intermission. Schedule: 7:30 p.m.

March 16-18, 23-25. Tickets: $15 general public, $10 students, alumni, MCC employees and seniors. Reservations and information: 815-455-8746 or jgeller@mchenry.edu. clean and effective and expertly highlighted by Rick Amundsen’s lighting design. Susan Colwell’s costumes capture the 1980s well, and there’s some subtle incidental music throughout by Paul Bayer. During scene transitions (quickly accomplished by the cast), HIV/AIDS facts and figures are projected onto a screen, as well as varied comments ranging from Pat Buchanan, Jesse Helms, Jerry Falwell, Princess Diana and Larry Kramer himself.

Sadly, the recognition all comes flooding back, a memory that in hindsight seems incredulous it even happened and even more confounding it took so long before the government and medical profession did anything! As Ned aptly says, “What causes silence like that?”

Short story writer Cynthia Ozick once advised “in saying what is obvious, never choose cunning. Yelling works better.”

Thanks, Geller and company, for letting us continue to hear the yelling.

To help McHenry’s Hidden Pearl Café relocate, Theatrevolt hosts one-act plays

LEFT: Jim Pierce (from left), Joshua Szeszol and Lynn Sciaraffa appear in “A Smattering of Perspective.” BELOW: Ensemble members Regina Belt-Daniels, Steve Morris and Tim Vance will explore the afterlife in “And Then What?” The short plays will be featured in Theatrevolt’s “Reflections and Perspectives” March 18-26 at Hidden Pearl Café in McHenry.

By JAMI KUNZER

jkunzer@shawmedia.com A venue that always has opened its door to the arts in McHenry will close them with one last theater production.

In an effort to raise money for Hidden Pearl Café as the business relocates, the Richmond-based Theatrevolt is hosting “Reflections and Perspectives,” three short plays running March 18-26 at the café.

“They are a great venue that has been supporting local community theater and the arts since they’ve been there. A lot of us have performed in shows there, and we just love it,” said Lynn Sciaraffa of Woodstock, who is directing the production and stars in one of the plays. “We just wanted to help them out because they’ve done so much for all of us.”

Among the plays are “A Smattering of Perspective,” “Wedded Bliss…or Not” and “And Then What?” Performances will be at 7 p.m. Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays at the café, 1208 N. Green St. Tickets

cost $15, $12 for students and seniors, with a portion of the ticket sales going to Hidden Pearl Café.

The show will be the last performed at the café’s current address, as the business looks to move, likely to another Green Street location, café owner Dan Kernes said. The café will close at its current location at the end of March or beginning of April as a redevelopment and expansion of the McHenry indoor theater building next door gets underway, he said.

Along with reopening the theater, which closed in 2014, plans call for a restaurant and outdoor seating.

“In order for the theater to reopen the way they wanted it, there wasn’t room for us,” Kernes said.

“We’re going to stay in McHenry for sure, and we’re definitley looking for a bigger spot,” said Kernes, who intends to continue hosting theater events, along with bridal and baby showers, in any new location. He’d like to even expand the café’s art offerings with improv and other performing arts, but keep the vibe of a smaller venue with a small stage close to the ground.

“The experience of seeing a play in a little shop like that . . . the first time I saw it, it was like, ‘This is great. We have to keep doing this,’ ” Kernes said.

Written by playwright Carl Zeitler of Elgin, Theatrevolt’s “Reflections and Perspectives” has a cast of seven.

In between each play, Theatrevolt member Danny Mitchell will perform his original music.

A friend of Zeitler’s and an original founding member of Theatrevolt, Sciaraffa described the short plays as three perspectives on different types of relationships.

In the humorous “Wedded Bliss… or Not,” a couple has been married about five years. “She wants to do a Cosmo survey, while he’s watching a football game,” Sciaraffa said.

“A Smattering of Perspective,” in which Sciaraffa also stars, tells the story of a blind

In the more thought-provoking “And Then What?” two people meet in a hospital waiting room. “Their lives have ended, but they don’t know what they’re going to do next,” Sciaraffa said.

The plays kick off Theatrevolt’s new season, with the company planning “Bus Stop” Aug. 18 through Sept. 2 and “Bob: A Life in Five Acts” Nov. 3-19. Tim Vance, one of Theatrevolt’s founders, said he’s talking to various venues and would like to see the theater company take its show on the road, perhaps even performing its productions at different locations weekly.

jkunzer@shawmedia.com “Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” will live up to its name at Marlowe Middle School’s upcoming production, say those involved with the musical.

That means a display of “amazing technicolor,” of course – intelligent moving lighting fixtures, the use of LED pixels, winches for automated flying scenery and stateof-the art pyrotechnics.

The technology is all new at Huntley High School’s Performing Arts Center, where Marlowe Middle School in Lake in the Hills will perform “Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” March 17-18.

“As far as an audience member coming here, you’re going to kind of see almost like a rock show in a way, lots of beams of light and smoke and colors and excitement,” said Nathan Knapke, the technical director both for the Performing Arts Center and the upcoming production.

The show’s all about color, he said. He and others at Huntley

High School have worked for the past couple of years to upgrade the equipment at the center, which is 14 years old, he said, and that included advancements in technology.

When Knapke first started, the center had about 20 lighting fixtures, many in need of maintenance, and about seven working

lapel microphones. It now has 14 intelligent moving lights, about 50 conventional fixtures and 32 lapel microphones.

The moving lights allow crews to make scene changes in seconds, Knapke said. And as of this year, they have the means to make scenery literally fly onto stage through

the use of winches, he said.

Plus, Knapke became certified to use indoor pyrotechnics. What does that mean?

“There’s a moment in the show where we shoot some fireworks off essentially, all legal of course,” he said.

About 10 high school students make up a technical crew for the show, serving as lighting operators, backstage runners, audio playback operators and special effects operators.

The efforts become a learning experience, Knapke said.

With the set including a 40-footwide Egyptian pyramid adorned with detailed hieroglyphics and stylized paintings, a desert waterwell, a golden chariot, 14-foot towers and a 7-foot flying pharaoh’s head, those working on building and painting the scenery had quite an experience as well.

“This crew, they’re a very special bunch to me,” Knapke said.

The show is scheduled for 7 p.m.

March 17 and 7 & 3 p.m. March 18.

‘Tale of Two Cities’ playwright surprises Prairie Ridge cast

By JAMI KUNZER

jkunzer@shawmedia.com The curtains might have closed on Prairie Ridge High School’s “A Tale of Two Cities,” but people still are talking about it. One person, in particular – the award-winning playwright who actually wrote the musical.

Emailed on a whim about the production by director David Jenson, Jill Santoriello not only responded, she hopped on a plane from New York to see the March 11 matinee. Santoriello, whose Broadway musical adaptation of “A Tale of Two Cities” – based on the classic Charles Dickens’ novel – opened in New York in 2008, even stuck around after the show to pose for pictures with students and answer questions.

“It was just a real pleasure and almost a surreal moment for all of us,” Jenson said, adding he hadn’t even expected any sort of response when he looked up Santoriello’s website and emailed her about the show.

He simply wanted her to know how much his cast and crew had gotten out of performing it. It’s a production not often performed at the high school level, with Prairie Ridge in Crystal Lake being only one of three theater performing groups and the only high school worldwide putting it on in 2017. The other two include professional theater companies in London and Utah.

“A lot of times, musical theater is fun and flippant,” Jenson said. “We were looking for something a little meatier to dig into with the students.”

Jenson described his crew’s com-

mitment, sending Santoriello a link to pictures from the production. She asked for a video of the show, said, “It looks like you have a special production.” She told Jenson she’d love to go, but she had quite a busy weekend lined up.

“I kind of thought that was the end of it,” Jenson said.

She continued to email Jenson, saying the more she looked at photos, the more she wanted to go and had found a last-minute flight. As Jenson talked to the cast before the matinee, he told them he had a special guest. Santoriello appeared.

“She walks in, and the entire room bursts into applause,” said 18-year-old senior Sarah Jenkins of Oakwood Hills,

who played a lead character, Madame Defarge, in the production. “To be honest, I started crying.”

When Jenkins told Santoriello about her role, Jenkins said, “Her eyes just lit up, and she gave me a hug and told me I did a wonderful job.”

“It was really cool to get that kind of validation from the composer of the musical. I can’t believe we were given that opportunity. It was the best birthday present ever,” said Jenkins, who turned 18 the next day and intends to major in music education at Carthage College in Kenosha, Wisconsin, next year.

Santoriello told the entire cast she was inspired by them and the emotion they portrayed in the show.

“It was phenomenal, definitely one of the most memorable experiences I’ve had so far in high school,” said 18-yearold senior Connor Pills of Cary, who played the lead role of Charles Darnay.

After a whirlwind day in Crystal Lake, Santoriello was on her way back to the airport.

Yet, the experience lingered, and still does for all involved.

“To meet her, she was very humble, very thoughtful and considerate. She signed every autography. At the end, I had to kind of usher her out so she didn’t miss her flight back,” Jenson said.

“It’s sort of a once-in-a-lifetime experience.”

“EVITA,” through March 18, Cary-Grove High School, 2208 Three Oaks Road, Cary. Schedule: 7 p.m. March 16 and 7:30 p.m. March 17-18. Tickets: $10.

A ‘Beauty and the Beast’ with a new dimension

“BEAUTY AND THE BOOK” WHEN: 10 to 11:30 March 29 WHERE: McHenry Public Library, 809 Front St., McHenry COST & INFO: Children ages 2 to 7 with an adult are invited for a “Beauty and the Book” storytime, crafts and a visit from their favorite book-loving princess. Children are encouraged to dress up in prince/ princess attire. For information and to register, call 815-385-0036 or visit www.mchenrylibrary.org.

By JAKE COYLE

The Associated Press

The Disney “live-action” remakes, of which the new “Beauty and the Beast” is but one in an assembly line, are starting to resemble an iPhone software update. Click a button and that old cartoon interface changes Belle into Emma Watson, the Beast into Dan Stevens and maybe fixes a few bugs in the system.

“Beauty and the Beast,” that “tale as old as time” (or, to pinpoint it, 1740, when the French fairy tale was published), certainly could use a few tweaks. It is, after all, a fable about finding beauty within that ends, curiously, with the once superficial prince falling for a beautiful woman he’s kidnapped, whose name literally means beauty. If you’d like to untangle those ironies, please, be our guest.

Director Bill Condon’s film – let’s call it “Beauty and the Beast 2.0” – often feels in search of a purpose beyond the all-but-certain dollar signs. Much of the live-action/digital effects makeover is less lifelike than the Oscar-winning 1991 animated film: It’s gained a dimension, but lost a pulse. The merely fine acting and the lavish production design (the sumptuous sets nearly swallow the performers whole) dutifully strive to make this a worthy enterprise.

Opposites attract, of course. And this “Beauty and the Beast” is equal parts dispiriting and enchanting: overflowing in handsome craft, but missing a spirit inside. Howard Ashman and

“BEAUTY AND THE BEAST” STARRING: Emma Watson, Dan Stevens, Luke

Evans

PLOT: An adaptation of the Disney fairytale about a monstrous-looking prince and a young woman who fall in love.

RATED: PG for some action violence, peril and frightening images RUNNING TIME: 2 hours, 9 minutes Alan Menken’s songs still have their infectious kick, but most of the big musical moments feel more like very good covers of the originals. (There also are three less-memorable new songs by Menken and Tim Rice.)

And yet, “Beauty and the Beast” finds its own verve – or, to quote Lumiere, “reason d’etre” – late. Condon (the “Dreamgirls” director who, having helmed much of the “Twilight” saga, knows a thing or two about young love and monsters), working from a script

by Stephen Chbosky and Evan Spiliotopoulos, has taken many of the old tale’s more cringe-worthy gender roles and mixed them up in the movie’s bright swirling medley.

Belle’s bookishness is more pronounced, thanks partly to the “Harry Potter” credentials of Watson. Her performance is a little minor key, still, but Watson lends Belle an intelligence and agency that she has lacked. She’s less of a Stockholm Syndrome victim and more deserving of young girls’ admiration. And the Beast, a pile of horns, makeup and effects on top of the

former “Downton Abby” star Stevens, is more haunted and melancholy.

But as the film nears its celebratory coda, a buoyant pluralism bursts forth.

Characters – large parts and small – are freed from their prescribed roles in a glorious dance, shortly after Mrs. Potts (Emma Thompson), Cogsworth (Ian McKellen), Lumiere (Ewan McGregor) and the rest come to life. (Be sure to shake your living room and see which British star tumbles out of the furniture.) Here is where that already much discussed “gay moment,” as Condon has called it, arrives. It comes and goes in a flash.

Josh Gad, the MVP of many a Disney movie, plays LeFou, the doting sidekick of the caddish Gaston (Luke Evans), the dopey pursuer of Belle’s hand. LeFou spends much of the movie hinting at his affection for his lecherous friend, but LeFou, too, earns a chance for redemption toward the end. That’s all it is – an easy-to-miss suggestion that LeFou might find another love. And yet this slightest wink of homosexuality has drawn the ire of some who, it’s worth noting, raised no concerns over a romance between an imprisoned girl and a beast or, for that matter, a candelabra and a feather duster.

In fact, “Beauty and the Beast” would be better if it dared more such moments and went further with them.

Nevertheless, the uproar suggests even this must count as progress. Perhaps we’ll be ready for a truly up-to-date “Beauty and the Beast 3.0” in another few decades.

By LINDSEY BAHR The Associated Press

In 1991, Disney struck gold with “Beauty and the Beast.” The film enchanted audiences and critics alike, and raked in several hundred million dollars along the way, but also upended expectations of what an animated film could be.

Not only did the New York Times theater critic controversially call it the best Broadway musical score of the year (spurring an actual Broadway show three years later), it also was the first animated film to be nominated for a best picture Oscar.

Over a quarter century later, the legacy endures, but times have changed, and there’s a new “Beauty and the Beast” on the block. The film is a lavish live-action reimagining of the “tale as old as time” with state-of-the-art CG splendor, Howard Ashman and Alan Menken’s classic songs and score (and a few new tunes with Tim Rice), and a modern social consciousness.

The film stars “Harry Potter’s” Emma Watson as the bookish heroine Belle, who yearns for adventure outside of the confines of her “small provincial town” and “Downton Abbey” alum Dan Stevens as the cursed and cold Beast.

Their supporting cast is a coterie of veterans, including Kevin Kline (Maurice), Emma Thompson (Mrs. Potts), Ian McKellen (Cogsworth), Audra McDonald (Madame Garderobe), Stanley Tucci

(Maestro Cadenza) and Ewan McGregor (Lumiere).

That Disney’s specific vision for “Beauty and the Beast” has lived on is no surprise, and its 13-year run on Broadway helped keep it in the cultural consciousness.

“It’s genuinely romantic, a genuinely beautiful story,” Menken said.

And then there’s the nostalgia aspect.

For many (including the cast), this was a seminal childhood film.

Luke Evans (Gaston) saw it when he was 12, Josh Gad (LeFou) when he was 10 and Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Plumette) when she was 8. Suffice it to say, they all knew the lyrics to the songs before they were cast.

The remake also is part of the Walt Disney Company’s ongoing strategy to mine their vaults for animated fare worthy of live-action re-creations. “Mulan,” “The Little Mermaid,” “Aladdin” and “The Lion King” are just a few already in the works.

But that doesn’t mean there weren’t worthy updates to be made in “Beauty and the Beast.” Director Bill Condon (“Dreamgirls”) delighted in rooting the story in a specific time and place – 1740 France – and adorning every last corner of the production with Rococo and Baroque details.

Technology advances allowed the production to render household objects that look believable when brought to life. The Beast’s look, meanwhile, was

achieved by combining performance capture and MOVA, a facial capture system, meaning Stevens throughout production walked on stilts and sported a prosthetic muscle suit with a body suit on top. (Yes, he danced in this getup).

The characters are more fleshed out as well. The Beast gets a backstory. As does Belle, whose independence looked refreshingly radical in ’91 and goes even further here.

“She’s a 21st century Disney princess. She’s not just a pretty girl in a dress,” Evans said. “She’s fearless and needs no one to validate her.”

That the woman behind the character also is the UN women’s goodwill ambassador only adds to its resonance.

“I think Emma’s an incredible role model for young girls, as somebody who has two daughters but also has a young son who I want to grow up with these values instilled,” Stevens said.

And, in a tribute to Ashman, who died of complications relating to AIDS at age 40 before the ’91 film came out, the production even unearthed forgotten lyrics from his notes, which they’ve added to two songs in the new film – “Gaston” and “Beauty and the Beast.”

While many of the beats, and even lines, remain the same, the world looks more diverse from the very first shots.

Faces of all races can be seen both in the grand castle and the country town. “[Condon] wanted to make a film that was resonant for 2017, that represents

the world as it is today,” Mbatha-Raw said.

Much has been made, too, of LeFou’s subtle “gay moment,” which put the internet in a tizzy far ahead of anyone actually seeing the film. On one side, GLAAD was applauding, on the other, a Facebook page apparently belonging to the Henagar Drive-In Theatre in Henagar, Alabama, announced it would not be showing the film.

Many in the production have backed away from the topic entirely.

“To define LeFou as gay. . . nobody who sees the movie could define it that way. He’s enthralled with Gaston,” Menken said. “I’m happy that LeFou is getting so much attention. But I pray that this stupid topic goes away because it’s just not relevant with any respect to the story. Even the one moment that’s being discussed is just a silly little wink.

It’s nothing.”

For his part, Gad thinks it’s been “overblown,” too, and the story is more about “inclusiveness” and not judging a book by its cover.

“It’s a story with a lot of wonderful messages, and, really once you watch the film, anyone who is wondering what it’s all about will understand that it’s a beautiful story, inclusive of everyone.

It’s a legacy that I’m proud to be part of,” Evans added.

“But you can judge Gaston by his cover,” he said with a smirk. “That’s exactly who he is.”

5 fast shortcuts to make your home sparkle this spring (BPT) - We all know that one person who just adores cleaning. But for the rest of us, it’s a necessary evil that gets old very quickly!

Before you tackle that long list of spring cleaning tasks, try some of these cleaning hacks designed to make these chores faster and easier. When cleaning is fun and even effortless, you’ll feel more energized and gain the momentum you need to knock out your list of chores.

Afterward, your house will sparkle from top to bottom, which is its own reward!

1. Find smarter tools Throw out the messy bucket and mop and reach for a smarter floor solution that’s efficient and fun to use. For

example, the O-Cedar EasyWring Spin Mop & Bucket System has a built-in wringer that offers superior moisture control of the mop, which makes it safe and easy to use on all hard floor surfaces - even hardwood!

The hands-free wringer requires a simple press of the foot pedal to easily spin out the water and help finish the job with less mess and faster drying times.

2. Try natural solutions Commercial cleaning solutions can add extra costs to your deep cleaning session, not to mention the harsh chemicals can leave behind unpleasant odors. Why not experiment with everyday pantry items? These often cost less and are just as effective in their cleaning power.

A simple solution of warm water and vinegar removes built-up grime from your floors, while leaving a clean, rinse-free finish. Just add a half cup of distilled white vinegar to a gallon

of warm water and start mopping.

If you dislike the smell of vinegar, add a couple drops of your favorite essential oil - the fresh scent will be Continued on the next page

face shines like new.

3. Shortcut to shining windows

5. Clean up top

If you want streak-free mirrors and clean windows without the hassle, Cas Aarssen, author of “Real Life Organizing: Cleaning and Clutter-Free in 15 Minutes a Day” and the YouTube channel ClutterBug, has this expert tip: Add a teaspoon of cornstarch to your favorite glass cleaner and shake until dissolved. Cornstarch improves the cleaning power of the solution and makes streaks a thing of the past, so you’ll get the job done more quickly.

Dust can collect on those high, hardto-reach places, such as decorative molding and ceiling fans, making cleaning day more difficult. To clean your ceiling fan without showering dust bunnies everywhere, an old pillowcase is your best tool. Spritz the inside of the pillowcase with a vinegar and water solution and slip it over the blades of the fan, pulling it back to trap the dust.

Aarssen has an easy tip that will not only shine up your kitchen appliances, it will repel fingerprints and food splatters often left behind. Just spritz on a little wood furniture polish and rub in with a soft cloth until the sur-

Nolan Bushnell, the founder of Atari, said, “Business is a good game -- lots of competition and a minimum of rules. You keep score with money.”

Bridge is a great game -- lots of competition and, some would argue, too many laws. Sometimes you keep score with money.

Players often quote axioms (“rules”), although most of them are wrong at least as often as they are right. But a few, like the Rule of Eleven and the key play in today’s deal, are always right if the appropriate conditions are met (the lead being fourth-highest in the case of the Rule of Eleven).

What is the right play for East here? He is defending against four hearts, and West has led the diamond king.

Note North’s four-diamond jump cue-bid. It is a splinter bid showing four-card heart support, game-going values and a singleton or void in diamonds. South, with such a weak hand, has no thought of a slam.

It should be apparent to East that his side probably has to take one diamond and three spade tricks to defeat the contract. Also, it must be better for East to attack spades through declarer, rather than West’s leading around to him. So, East overtakes the diamond king with his ace.

But which spade should he lead next?

The normal card from J-7-6 is the six, but when you need three tricks in the suit, the correct card to lead is the jack. Now the contract goes down one.

Note that if East starts with the spade six, South plays low from his hand and is safe.
